*Smut*

Times since that night of the vision has been shifted.

Jimin and Jeongguk have not tried to look back into the memories of the past again after that first time, more so because Jimin believed the guardian doesn't want them to know about it now. And Jeongguk preferably would not like to go through that light shock again.

So, Jimin has approached things differently.

He tried teaching Jeongguk how to use his gifts.

They went over the motions, the feeling and how to dig deep into the connection with the Earth to absorb the power, like a conductor. Everything comes from the Earth, they just use the power it lends to them, and then they must give it back.

But Jeongguk has not been able to master it.

His eyes changes to the color, but only when Jimin shifts it first, to then it makes Jeongguk react to it. To do it on his own seems close to impossible.

Nothing worked, no matter how hard he tried.

After a long night of practicing and going over it, Jeongguk gave up.

"This is pointless," He pants while leaning against a tree, "Maybe you're wrong. What if it's you? You are probably reflecting your colors to others without realizing it?"

Jimin crosses his arms over his chest, thinking about it, "But you are strong, when we fought-"

"I studied martial arts."

"But you learn quick to the Earth to move-"

"I learn fast in general Jimin. My boyfriend is an alien, and we used to live in an island," Jeongguks huffs, opening his eyes, "This is all just you. You are projecting your abilities to me without realizing it. I'm not one of your people.... It's just impossible."

Jimin is in denial, but he doesn't know how to respond back to that. In a way, Jeongguk is right. All of the times that Jeongguk has shown any source of power or ability, it has been when Jimin had been around -

"That's not true."

All eyes' snaps to Taehyung, who leaning back against a bolder, rubbing his wrists subtly as a memory breezed through his head with a frown, "Remember the time..... We.... Tried to mate?"

Why would he bring that up?

Jeongguk furrows his eyebrows, confused, "Yeah? What does that memory have to do with any of this?"

Jimin looks between them a little awkwardly, until Taehyung spoke, "That night..... Not your scream that stop me," And he glances back to his wrists, "It was your hand.... It burned me."

Both boys perked their heads to Taehyung, well with Jimin now glancing at the two again but a little more in anticipation, letting the possibilities fall in his mind. Meanwhile, Jeongguk desperately tried to rake in his memory of that night, but he can't remember anything besides the desperation he felt to be released.

Nothing is clear, no matter how hard Jeongguk tried to remember well.

"I don't understand," Jimin suddenly chimes in, looking at Jeongguk, "You rejected mating with your partner?"

Well, clearly the big part of the situation is irrelevant to Jimin.

"No it's just..... It was too much," Jeongguk retorts back, a little flustered, "I'm just a human and..... Well.... Taehyung has other tendencies."

"I know, but..... You not just human," Jimin said and hums, contemplated, "What makes you..... Tick?"

Jeongguk shuffles a little as Jimin steps towards him, and his eyes began to blaze orange. In a matter of seconds, Jeongguk felt the heat in his body bubble up, feeling it buzz all the way through the blood and his fingertips. His mouth began to water and second and he got an immediate fever and desire for intimacy.

Jimin looks between his eyes before looking to Taehyung and waves a hand, his eyes shifting back to brown, "I need you."

Upon the disappearance of orange, Jeongguk release a breath as his body goes back to its normal state, but he tenses when Taehyung approaches them, standing in front of him. Jimin goes and stands behind him, facing Jeongguk.

"You will use orange on Taehyung," Jimin instructs, "And see how your body feels when you stop thinking."

Jeongguk immediately steps back, shaking his head, "No..... I can't handle Taehyung, no offense," And he looks at his boyfriend, frowning, "If he hurts me without realizing it, it'd kill him more than it'd kill me."

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing," Jimin assures back, "Trust in the process. Just don't think."

Jeongguk still remained doubtful, but then Taehyung nods, serious, "Trust."

Trust.

Such an easy word to say, and a hard thing to do.

They just need to trust each other in the moment, and on other occasions it's second nature, now after their first time, it's a sensitive water to touch.

Jeongguk will have to trust that Taehyung won't try to tear him apart like how he almost did last time.

However, he has seen how Taehyung got with orange. If Jeongguk goes orange, who knows what would happen.

That's where he's going to have to trust Jimin to handle the situation.

Jimin rubs Taehyung's shoulder while looking at Jeongguk, "Just feel the energy, don't think," Jimin repeats, "Don't hold back. The purpose is to break what's holdng you back. If you broke with Taehyung through mating, it could break again.""

Jeongguk gulps but nods back.

Taehyung exhales nervously and whispers to Jewel, "I become like animal."

"I know," Jimin mutters, recalling the memory when they first mated, "Anchor yourself for Jeongguk. I got you if you can't control yourself."

Taehyung nods back, and embraces himself.

Suddenly Jimin's eyes glowed orange. Not too long after, Jeongguk's eyes glowed orange as well, and he looks directly at Taehyung.

Taehyung quickly felt his skin heat up and his muscles grow tense. A wave of tingles moved through all over his body, and he sensed it all the way through his fingertips. He looks at Jeongguk and he practically drools as the man looks back to him, and he growls under his breath.

A territorial growl.

When he took a step forward, Jimin was careful in keeping a hand placed on his shoulder, massaging his neck to remind Taehyung that he's still here in case he needs an anchor.

Taehyung stood closer in front of Jeongguk, and he leans forward gently, feathering his lips softly against his lips. Jeongguk gulps, feeling his own body get fired up because of Jimin's glowing orange eyes staring into his head, and he leans and collapses his lips with Taehyung's mouth.

Taehyung clearly was holding onto every fiber in his body to ease his desires, Jimin can feel it underneath his fingertips. He can feel it in his tense muscle, his shuttering breath, the faint sounds in his throat, but his tight fist on his side showed his control to keep himself together.

Taehyung wants nothing more than to rip Jeongguk to shred in the most shameless and sexual way possible, but he's holding everything back for him.

For love.

However, Jimin kept a close eye on them, especially when Jeongguk pulled away and those orange eyes were blazing at a more chaotic whirl.

Without Jimin's eyes mimicking the color.

Taehyung hungrily growls under his breath and for a second was ready to pounce on him, but Jimin's grip held him down.

"Hold."

Taehyung remained still, huffing a growl every single time he heaves a breath. Jeongguk looks at Jimin, and Jimin had to force his head to the side when he saw those burning eyes.

Jeongguk noticed this and tilts his head, "Look at me."

Jimin refused.

Taehyung turns his head and sees Jimin not looking at Jeongguk, so he took it upon him to grab a fist full of Jewel's hair and snag his head up.

Jimin's eyes were already back to orange, and both men took a step towards him. However, Jimin stood back, forcing a piece of the Earth between them from the ground.

"Too dangerous," Jimin stated, more so focusing his eyes on Jeongguk, "You will get hurt. No control. I have no control. I need someone strong to handle me."

Taehyung relentlessly rubs his arm, remembering the night him and Jewel set their stance on the dominant of the two. It was so wild and crazy that Taehyung can't even argue with him there.

Jewel needs someone equally in his level to mate, if not then he will destroy them by accident.

Taehyung can barely hold back, and he does it out of love. Jewel will not hold back because he goes all out for love. 

Two different ideologies.

Jeongguk gulps and glances to Taehyung, and he slowly interlaced their hands together, "I trust him," And then he looks at Jimin, "And I trust you."

Jimin hums a little under his breath and he lowers the earth between them, and he looks at Taehyung, "He is your mate. If you need assistance on control, I will help."

Taehyung briefly nods and he turns to Jeongguk, but he keeps himself still. Jeongguk looks between his eyes and once again closes the distance between them, his hand on Taehyung's jaw as he brought their lips together.

Taehyung inhales deeply through the nose, spreading his hands on Jeongguk's torso and pulls him closer. When Jeongguk began moving his lips against his, a little more hastily, Taehyung feels a wave of tingles washing over him and the claws on his fingers began to-

Soft fingers gently caressed his hand, and Taehyung opened his eyes to see Jimin's blazing orange eyes staring to where the claws were coming out as he carefully circles around them.

Making sure Jeongguk was safe.

Taehyung's relaxes and retreats the claws, but then tenses up as Jeongguk began to lose his patience and snaps his own shirt off of his body from the heat. Upon feeling his flesh beneath his fingertips, the hard muscles on his skin, Taehyung lost a bit of control.

He moved Jeongguk to the grass beneath them and he got on him in seconds. Jeongguk took it upon himself to unzip the top of the suit off of him, and groans when he felt the heat of Taehyung's skin beneath his fingertips.

The sound that sputtered out of Jeongguk's mouth alone was enough for Taehyung to lose more of his restraint. He moved his hand to the side of Jeongguk's neck, cradling his jaw as he moved his lips down to his throat in a thirsty desire for his skin.

For his body.

For everything.

Taehyung hisses under his breath and he pulls his head back, "Jewel-"

"I'm here," The fluid voice of Jewel's tone glides the air, forcing tingles down both of the men's bodies.

Taehyung pants a breath as he closes his eyes to the finger tracing up his spine. Every muscle in his body calms down, looking down to Jeongguk and softly caresses his cheek before leaning their forehead together.

"I'm sorry."

"I trust you."

"Don't trust me."

"I still do."

Jeongguk snags a fist full of his hair and messily smother their lips together. Taehyung's hand slams on the grass beside Jeongguk's head, gripping it lethally with his claws. The hand that was met by a single touch, easing the claws back.

The barrier of the pants was suddenly removed, and Taehyung pressed his lips firmly against Jeongguk's mouth. Jeongguk used the distraction as he felt at the same time the sudden pain entering inside him from his anus.

Taehyung was so close to slamming in all the way inside in one go, but Jewel's breath against his ear stopped him, "Don't hurt him, or I'll hurt you."

Jeongguk squeezes his eyes painfully shut as he adjusts to the new unfamiliar feeling. He has never had sex with a guy before, probably with a few females with the past, so these are new waters for him that he's entering.

New waters of receiving actually.

It took everything in Taehyung to be controlled, forcing him to growl as he buries his face against Jeongguk's neck, "Wet."

"Thats pre-cum from my dick,"

"No," Taehyung stutters, his hip subtly shifting forward, "Inside..... Just like Jewel."

What?

Jeongguk snaps his eyes open, eyes blazing in orange, "Wet?"

Taehyung did the first mistake in looking directly into those orange eyes, and all restraint he had broke free immediately.

He grabs Jeongguk's jaw and yanks him forward, smothering their lips together while pounding inside him. Jeongguk shrieks, not expecting the sudden pace but too fired up with desire to stop either of them. 

Now that hit the spot.

Jeongguk rolls his eyes back and accepts the pleasure but suddenly whimpers when Taehyung's claws dug on his thigh, forcing scratches on his skin as he traces up to his knee.

And Jeongguk began to panic as he remembers their first time..

"T-Tae-"

Taehyung was gone. He couldn't control himself. Even when he heard his name and looked into those orange eyes, he couldn't contain himself.

He couldn't stop.

Jeongguk's heart thrusted faster in his chest, as though something in him was ready to burst but he can't.

He....

He can't -

"You're holding back."

Jeongguk's ears perked, just as Jimin laid beside him, "Stop that."

"I-I can't-"

Jimin slowly sits up and goes to Taehyung, grabbing the back of his neck with his own claws sunk in. Taehyung whimpers to the pain but hums when Jimin softly met his lips, seeming to have been whatever restraint to have calmed him down in the moment.

Jeongguk watches with wide eyes as Jimin did this, but not before Jimin pulls away and looks down to him, orange burning in his eyes.

"Don't hold back your power," Jimin whispers and leans to him, "It's in you, release the animal."

Jimin then softly presses their lips together.

At that moment, it felt as though everything that was caged inside Jeongguk's chest - that feeling, that suffocation and panic - finally exploded.

A chain being broken off.

When Jimin pulled away, Jeongguk pounced on Taehyung in a matter of seconds. Taehyung scrambles back and screeches as Jeongguk moves against him from his lap, head dropped back with lips parted, unable to stop himself to this wild sensation cruising through him as though he was suddenly injected with this intense desire and euphoria. Taehyung sits up and claws his back, dragging it down his spine, to which the wounds healed in seconds.

Jeongguk growls under his breath and looks down at Taehyung with his now red eyes, colliding their lips together with a hunger lip bite and his tongue playing a dangerous game in his mouth.

Taehyung couldn't keep up, and he was losing his dominance far too quickly. Jeongguk grabs his neck and leans his forehead against the side of his face.

"Not too strong anymore?"

"I'm yours," Taehyung breathes under his breath like an oath, "At your mercy."

Jimin watches as the two got lost into their moment, all the way until they both came undone from the tension and pressure. He got up and walked away from the scene once they laid side by side to cool off, feeling a whirl of emotions moving through his body. 

Right now, Jimin doesn't know what to think or feel as he only continues to walk until he arrived at a familiar cliff. The same cliff they swung off of to swim with the dolphins. He slowly walks towards it until he fell to his knees. The water from the river echoes beside him, and he just stayed there in silence, having the stars and faint sounds of nature be his company.

He embraces the quietness. 

Being alone.

Always.... Alone....

Jimin looks up to the sky, "Guardian..... I don't know what you want me to do."

Nothing was spoken back, usually there's never one.

"I lost everything..... I have Jeongguk and Taehyung but.... I miss my home. This world is too.... Gone," Jimin whispers, the language of his people tracing the air, "I don't know.... You gave me this role as king and for what? I let all my people down. I feel useless because I don't know what my purpose is anymore. I'm king and yet here I am hiding?"

The tears glided down Jimin's cheek, and he looks down, "I just need a little help here. I'm too lost. I don't know what to do.... I don't know who I am anymore."

The silence is the only thing met here once again, until suddenly he heard something in a distance.

Rustling.

Jimin looks over the cliff and suddenly saw various animals coming forth from deep within the forest - all stepping before him as they watch him from the cliff. They all stood there, from monkeys, jaguars, sloths and macaws. As though they are waiting for something. Anything. Even the river animals perked up, waiting him.

The sun is rising in the horizon, the sky is shifting colors, and Jimin closes his eyes as he felt this warmness in his chest like a warm hug. This energy, this connection - he felt it. He felt their energy, all coming together, for him.

They all believe in him.

They all believe in their king.

Their protector.

That's his role, to protect them.

Protecting the trees, the life that naturally comes from this world.

Protecting all those who breathes that come from the guardian.

To defend life.

That is his task.

That is who he is. 

Jimin bows his head, just as the lines that were once drawn on his skin from the ceremony of his initiation glowed on his skin. His eyes opened to reveal the mix of colors as he slowly rises to his feet.

The animals chittered and hawked in anticipation as the king approaches the edge of the cliff, and he looks over all the animals in the horizon.

And he stomps on the cliff, sending a wave back to all the animals.

All living things that crawls and walks this Earth receiving a message.

A message no longer of him being hidden.

The king of this world has returned.

And he will return the balance of life once again, as his sworn duty, no matter who stands in his way.

The animals went wild, cheering and howling as Jimin suddenly screeches.

And large ash grey wings erupted from his back.

Large and profound wings that stretched far and wide. Wings that were blessed by the sun's light peeking over the horizon over the cliff and the land. The sounds erupted louder from the animals and the water splashing powerfully. The wings gave a powerful wave before stretching up, forcing Jimin into the air.

All the animals one by one bowed down. All dropping to their knees, receiving their king and standing with him in a heart filled with trust to bring peace to their life.

Jimin looks over all the creatures and drops down to one knee on the cliff, bowing before them as well and to the guardian.

It has been done.

No more running.

Now it's time for Jimin to reclaim his rightful place as the protector of Earth.

Jimin rises to his feet, the wings now moving to wrap around Jimin's arms and engrave themselves like tattoos on his skin.

Now, he must find-

"Brother?"

Every cell in Jimin's body suddenly froze. His breath hitched, his heart slowed in beating and his body physically stopped being able to process anything around him. There's chaos in his mind. A disaster that forced his body to remain paralyzed in trauma, filling with complete denial.

Only because he heard that voice. 

And yet his mind was wild.

Far too wild.

A kaleidoscope of memories stormed through his mind in vivid flashes, a storm of cells and screams with the sky falling and all the animals gone.

All his people.

No one was alive.

No one was breathing.

But-

Jimin turns around slowly, and he chokes on his breath as he sees a familiar face of a man emerging for the trees. The man is holding a familiar gun up, dressed in an all-black gear and year his face - no, his eyes - are filled with an expression of complete paranoia.

Jimin hunched himself back, hissing his fangs.

The man hunched back as well, and hisses with his blaring red eyes.

No.....

This can't be possible.

The familiar man he saw at the arena was a hallucination.

It wasn't real.

He wasn't real.

This man isn't real.

It's.... Impossible.

The man's eyes also widen subtly to Jimin's reaction, and he lowers the gun, "This can't be possible..."

Jimin shutters a breath and sniffs, slowly edging towards him. He took more steps closer to him, observing the blue tears in the other man's eyes as he still remains tense, not moving a muscle.

Afraid that if he did, it'd be a hologram he's seeing.

A hallucination.

Then Jimin slowly outstretched a hand to him. The man hesitated and growls back to him.

"Pandora."

Jimin spoke his voice in the same tone and language of his people, and the man's face fell immediately, the tear gliding down his cheek.

"Jewel."

Jimin's lips quivered as he steps closer to him, extending a hand and hesitated but then grazed his fingers on the skin of his cheek.

The other man's drops his gun, choked in his breath as he reflects the spirals of colors that are vivid from Jimin's eyes.

Jimin throat tightens, and he closes in on him, clasping his other cheek and leans their forehead.

And he cries.

The other man has his hands on his shoulders, moving them from his shoulder blades to his hair and to his neck, perking his head up, looking between his eyes.

"How.... How are you still alive?!"

"Could say the same for you, I saw you die!" Jimin hiccups, unable to stop touching his face, "They skinned you alive in front of me.... You died."

"That's what they wanted you to think," He responded back, looking between his eyes, "They just wanted you to break.... But the flood.... I thought you died with it when you escaped."

Jimin shakes his head, "The ocean saved me.... Held me safe for a long time."

The man quivers a smile and closes his eyes, "The others will be so happy."

"Others?"

"Jimin?"

Both men snap their eyes to Taehyung and Jeongguk, who emerged through the trees to find Jimin. Upon seeing the new stranger with the suit, Taehyung's eyes thinned and he hisses before yanking Jeongguk behind him.

Pandora growls back and stands in front of Jimin defensively.

Jimin quickly got in between them, his eyes focused on Taehyung, "Calm-"

"Poacher suit. Murderer!"

"I'm no killer-"

Jimin pushed both back aggressively, snarling angrily back to both of them, looking at Jeongguk now, "He's my people..... My brother."

Brother?

Jeongguk eyebrows furrowed, looking between Jimin and the stranger and places a hand on Taehyung's chest, easing him back. Taehyung is still tense, but then he glances to Jeongguk and steps back as his words.

Jimin lowers his hands and glances to his brother, "They are my pack."

His nose twitches, looking back to Taehyung, "He's not from Earth and the other is a labrat-"

"No, he has the blood of our people in his veins," Jimin takes Jeongguk's elbow and takes him forward, "Our blood or not, they are my pack. If you take me to the others, they will come too."

Jeongguk snaps his eyes to Jimin, eyes widen.

Others.

There are others?

But..... Jimin was the only one.....

Or so they thought he was.

The brother looks them and then to Jimin, and bows his head, "As you wish," And then he turns around.

Jimin goes to follow him but Taehyung grabs his arm and whirls him around.

He's not about to walk into this blind sighted.

"Crazy? He poacher!" Taehyung seethes back, holding him still, "Dangerous. No trust. Kill many Beta and Echo units!" 

Jimin glares at his hand and then back to him, removing his arm from him, "He is my brother-"

"Your people dead-"

"Or so I thought so too," Jimin tells him back, his eyes now glimmering a faint blue, "I have to go. I must see for myself, but I can't do this alone."

But then he grabs Taehyung and Jeongguk's hand, looking at both of them, "Together."

Jeongguk shoulders shagged, glancing to Taehyung - who's already looking back to him, willing to do anything Jeongguk decides to do.

Whether that's to go, or stay put.

This is a new discovery for all of them. They didn't even know Jimin's people were even alive. This could be big for both Jimin and humanity as a whole. It'd answer so many questions as to why they've been hidden or why Jimin's brother for one is wearing a poacher suit.

They must know what happened after the flood.

So Jeongguk looks at Jimin's pleading eyes and nods, "Okay, we'll go with you."

Taehyung rolls his eyes but complies.

This is probably the first time Jimin has ever smiled this widely before, and he boldly hugs both of them tightly.

It even made Taehyung tense up.

"My pack, let's go."

And so they embarked their journey following the mysterious man. Taehyung's watched him with a chest puffed while him and Jimin played with each other, whether it was chasing one another or leaping on rocks and the river streams.

It's clear to see how the two complement one another and their abilities. They are so similar to one another: from the way they move, speak, even their gestures.

Their agile and endurance skills also mirror each other.

They are practically..... Each other.

Jeongguk didn't fail to notice Taehyung's expression and he smirks, nudging his side, "Are you growing jealous?"

Taehyung huffs, animalistic, "I don't like what I see."

"I can tell."

Taehyung didn't say anything more, just as the brother stopped in front of two long trees. Jimin looks around the trees in confusion, unsure what to even expect, but Taemin grabbed a branch from the ground and yanked it up like a lever.

Suddenly the ground below the two trees lifted, revealing a dark cave of earth and rock beneath it.

The brother smiles at Jimin, "We're here brother."

Jimin beams and follows after him into the cave. Jeongguk hesitated slightly but after interlacing his fingers with Taehyung's hand, he relaxes and follows after them. Taehyung only gave an eye scour to their surroundings, before following after them, trusting in Jewel.

The cave is dark now as Pandora lowered the lever from below. But they suddenly reached a tunnel with fire torches on either side. Jimin looks around, running his fingers through the Earth and twitches a frown to a small root curling his finger, just as he continues walking.

Until they reached a bolder blocking an entrance.

Pandora glowed his green eyes and placed a hand over the rock, to which puffed against the entrance and slowly rolled to the side.

Revealing the camp to the other side.

Jimin eyes glowed as he looks around the large cave like a dome. There's holes against the wall with smaller caves, to which could be assumed to be the sleeping arrangements for the people here. On the main area, there's tents and a large bone fire at the center, where majority of the people are.

As Pandora leads the way, various of people began to turn their heads around the camp to the newcomers, eyes narrowed to the new visitors. However, many of them upon seeing Jimin began to whisper amongst themselves. They all rose to their feet and follow to where Pandora is leading them to.

Up until they approached a group by the fire, and a man turned around.

The man had the warrior make-up that Jimin's people used to draw on their faces to identify who's the leader. Yet unlike Jimin's father, the man is dressed up in a black attire and has a gun in his harness.

Suddenly the brother places a hand to his back and bows his head, "Chief."

"Captain Taemin," The man greets with his modern name, and in English, "Any sightings on the camp I sent you to look into?"

"No sir, but I have returned with-"

"Alien intruders!"

Suddenly the people around them raised their guns and pointed it to Taehyung. Taehyung hissed angrily at them and kept Jeongguk behind him, forcing his body into armor with his claws in seconds.

Jimin snarls his teeth and stood in front of his pack and forced fire out of his hands, warning them to stand back.

Unless they want this place to burn to ashes.

Taemin raised his hand to the people, "Guns down."

"They are not my people," Jimin spat with his fangs, looking around with his blazing red eyes, "My people would know me."

"New generation. Our people has reached their time, this is their children and their children's children," Taemin explained, looking at him in panic to the fire blazing his hands, "Calm brother."

Jimin looks around apprehensively, snapping back, "Guns down, or I won't stop Taehyung from ripping them all apart."

On cue, Taehyung growls animalistic from the chest from behind Jewel, and Taemin nods, focusing on the rest of the people. The leader eyed Jimin as this occurred and raised a fist, making everyone lower their guns immediately as he approaches Jimin. 

Jimin stands upright while the leader studies him closely, snarling lowly under his breath with his fangs. Jimin trills back, making the leader step back, "The last king from the Guardian," The leader spoke back in his language, his hazel eyes dimming in color, "My ancestors have only passed down stories of the great fall, and the last king blessed by the guardian. I didn't expect to live the day to meet him," And he bows down respectfully to him, "Your majesty."

Jimin tilts his head up, just as everyone also mimicked the leader's motion with their heads, just as the leader raised his head up, "I assume you have many questions."

"Plenty," Jimin responded, "But I'm not the only one."

Jimin turns his head and looks at Jeongguk, who is looking around in awe before realizing all the attention is on him now. 

And he gulps nervously.
